ROADTEC 01 190/55 ZR 17 M/C 75W HWM Rear Radial Tubeless Type

【METZELER 2681500 ROADTEC 01 190/55 ZR 17 M/C 75W HWM Rear Radial Tubeless Type Motorcycle Tires On-road Sport Touring Heavy Motorcycle ROADTEC】
【To a new world of sport touring: Longer, further, safer】

・ROADTEC 01 is Metzeler's flagship product in sport touring, ranging from radial to cross-ply constructions.
・It achieves improved grip and durability on wet and low-friction surfaces, as well as high adaptability to various motorcycles and riding styles.
【Grip on all surfaces】

・Advanced compounds improve chemical grip and adhesion in all conditions.
・Metzeler's unique mixing technology produces an even more uniform compound, resulting in superior chemical properties and wear resistance.
・Radial front tires offer a synergy of excellent chemical grip from a 100% silica compound and mechanical grip generated by the tread pattern.
・Radial rear tires feature a dual compound layout. The center section accounts for approximately 20% of the tire's width, with the remaining 80% distributed equally between both shoulder sections.
・The center section combines silica and carbon black in a balanced ratio, enhancing high-speed stability and heat dissipation, while achieving both wear resistance and grip performance.
・The 100% silica compound in the shoulder sections, similar to the front tire, provides excellent grip on low-friction surfaces when combined with the tread pattern.
・The same compound is used for both front and rear shoulder sections, ensuring a consistent contact feeling during lean.
・The cap & base structure (a thin layer in the center compound extends beneath the shoulder compound) ensures optimal heat distribution.
・All ROADTEC 01 radial tires, combined with Metzeler's Zero Degree Steel Belt INTERACT technology, deliver precise riding and long life.
・ROADTEC 01 cross-ply front and rear tires feature a unique carbon black-based compound with approximately 30% silica. It utilizes the heat generated by the tire's structure to reach optimal operating temperature, providing excellent grip in dry conditions. Special resins enhance the compound's mobility and adhesion, delivering unparalleled grip in wet conditions.
【Safety on wet and low-friction surfaces】

・ROADTEC 01 features a new tread pattern concept developed by Metzeler to improve mechanical traction, which is clearly felt during acceleration and braking.
・The front tire is characterized by numerous lateral grooves, which firmly grip the road surface with high grip and ensure excellent water drainage.
・The rear tire has grooves with opposing directions and different functions, with both long and short grooves.
・During braking, short grooves suppress lateral movement and enhance motorcycle stability.
・During acceleration, long grooves utilize the compound's traction performance on low-friction surfaces.
・The groove orientation also contributes to extending tire life. The groove design and spacing are adjusted to increase the land-sea ratio, putting more rubber in contact with the road. At the same time, the groove direction aligns with the tire's wear wave, resulting in uniform tread wear and maintaining tread performance until the end of the tire's life.
・The distinctive tread design and structure of ROADTEC 01 provide excellent water drainage and optimal grip.
【Long life and consistent performance】

・ROADTEC 01 achieves a 10% longer lifespan compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT.
・The wider and shorter contact patch from the innovative profile reduces tire compound consumption and ensures uniform wear.
・The shorter and wider contact patch of ROADTEC 01 compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT produces two effects:
・Reduced tire slip and significantly lower wear rate
・The motorcycle's weight and acceleration force are distributed over a wider area of the tire, reducing compound stress and suppressing overheating.
・The contact surface of ROADTEC 01 with the road has an increased amount of tread and edge in contact simultaneously, improving mechanical grip, water drainage, and safety. Furthermore, by putting more rubber in contact with the ground, chemical grip is exerted from the moment leaning begins, especially in mid-bank angles.
【Stability and trajectory precision】

・Structure adaptable to any motorcycle or riding style.
・ROADTEC 01 has improved carcass flexibility compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT.
・Compound deformation improves mechanical grip, providing adhesion on rough surfaces and impact absorption for road irregularities (repairs, bumps, cobblestones).
・Metzeler leverages a wealth of technology for various applications to provide the best solutions that meet the performance required of tires.
・Radial and cross-ply structures fully demonstrate their power in synergy with bias structures or zero-degree steel belts adopting Interact technology.
・The structure of each ROADTEC 01 tire size is manufactured with materials designed to meet the required tire performance.
